| Beschrijving keerzijde | A nude slinger standing in dynamic throwing stance to the right, his body twisted as he prepares to release his sling; the Greek legend EΣTFEΔIIYΣ, reading as the ethnic name of Aspendos, appears to the left of the figure. To the right, the forepart of a horse galloping to the right is depicted in the upper field, with a Phrygian helmet rendered below it. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted circular border, a characteristic feature of Aspendian coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aspendos, a prosperous Pamphylian city controlling the Eurymedon River trade route, issued these staters almost entirely for mercenary payments rather than everyday commerce. The city supplied soldiers extensively to Persian satraps and later Hellenistic commanders throughout the fourth century, and the high silver standard of Aspendian coinage was specifically calibrated to meet mercenary pay scales acceptable across the eastern Mediterranean.
The "var." notations against the SNG France and von Aulock references indicate a die combination not precisely matched in either corpus — not unusual given the considerable number of obverse and reverse die pairings documented for this extended issue.
